Brief answer :
It indicates infection.

Detailed answer :
Hi, welcome to HCM.
Your child has fever for 4 days and neutrophil count is 64, this indicates infection in child. Since, malaria is negative, you need to do some more investigations like NS1 Antigen test for dengue, typhidot Igm for typhoid.
In my opinion, your child will probably need antibiotics based on above reports.
I hope this will help you. Take care.
